Vocaloid Songs for When You Want to Cry [Moving and Heart-wrenching]

Living in the twilightTohta Kasamura

Living in the Twilight / feat. MEIKO

A Vocaloid song that blends poignancy and emotional intensity, singing, “It’s painful, but I can keep living because you’re here.” It’s a track by Tota Kasamura, a Vocaloid producer known for piano ballads, released in March 2023.

It serves as an answer song to the 2020 release “Halten o Ugatsu” (Piercing the Clear Sky), expressing feelings toward the protagonist of that song within “Living in the Twilight.” The message resonates precisely because the characters care deeply for each other.

A mashup version combining the two songs I mentioned has also been released, so be sure to give that a listen as well.

[Hatsune Miku] Room 109 That Won't Melt [Original MV]

A melancholic, story-like Vocaloid track that feels modern yet as if you’re peering into a fairy-tale world.

It’s a song by the Vocaloid producer TaKU.

K, also known for works like “The Hedonist’s Happy Table” and “The Imbecile’s Fall Tale,” released in 2020.

The waltz-like composition, with beautifully resonant piano tones, lends greater depth to its world-building.

A tragedy born precisely out of love.

[GUMI] Instead of Goodbye [Original PV]

I think it’s a song themed around feelings for a lover who no longer shares the same world.

The protagonist decides to live positively, somehow, by using memories of the happy old days as nourishment.

The poignant depiction brings tears to my eyes.

In the music video, the protagonist’s expressions are shown, making it even easier to empathize.

“Hugging” / Yu Komaki feat. Hatsune Miku MV

“Embrace” is filled with messages that give you the courage to take a step forward in life.

Created in 2021 by Yuu Komaki, a Vocaloid producer who also works as a singer-songwriter, it unfolds with a classical band arrangement featuring the warm tones of strings.

The lyrics, which portray people struggling to live through days that don’t always go well, are sure to soothe the heart.

It’s a ballad where Hatsune Miku’s tender vocals—enveloping loneliness and anxiety—resonate.

Listen closely to the warm phrases that may inspire you to live more positively.

[8 Vocaloids] The Shape of a Dream (Yume no Katachi) [FuwariP]

A Vocaloid all-star piece featuring Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin and Len, Megurine Luka, KAITO, MEIKO, GUMI, and Gackpo.

The warm, heartfelt melody pairs perfectly with lyrics that evoke graduation, stirring the emotions.

It’s recommended for times when you want to turn hardship into strength and move forward.

Nem – Scissorhands ft. Hatsune Miku / Scissorhands ft. Hatsune Miku

This is a piece of music based on the film Edward Scissorhands.

The horn section in the backing track balances the overall sound, resulting in a very pleasant, jazzy finish.

It portrays a poignant love story about a modified human man who falls in love with a human girl.

A song about how sometimes, even if you love someone, there’s nothing you can do.

It’s a rock ballad by Megurine Luka that begins with a poignant, lyrical piano performance.

It evokes the image of a mature romance.

The high notes in the chorus soar with a crystalline clarity that pierces the heart.
